I ran across this unusual rock and cactus garden. Note that it is a lefty CJ-2A. There seems to be some usable parts left on this old flattie.

Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .

Poor jeep, what a way to go. More importantly………..why ???
The ol’ CJ2 is a memorial to my wife’s parents, Jack and Vy Wormington, and the many, many years they enjoyed jeeping in the Western US. Founding members of the Tierra del Sol 4WD club.
There was no engine or transmission, no wheels… this is a static display, up on blocks. Really not much left. But we enjoy it every time we come and go from the ranch.
Great memories.
Perfectly understandable, thanks for sharing Troy.
Stop by some time, Marc, and I’ll pour you a cuppa and we can swap Jeep stories.
Troy
Troy,
Marc’s from South Africa, so it may be a while before he visits π
My wife and I were planning a month-long trip through Texas. We were supposed to leave tomorrow (Saturday), but a family health issue forced us to cancel it for now.
We should give a shoutout to the Tierra Del Sol Club as they still exist: http://www.tds4x4.com
Thanks for your description Troy,
– Dave
Thank you, Dave. Yeah, that would be quite a hike!
TDS is still very much alive. “Our” generation is mostly gone now, but Bob and Denny Londo (also founding members) are still active – Denny is in his 90’s. We sent them a photo of the front of the ranch, along with a long-lost 18 minute DVD video we had converted from Super-8 film – found it in a box of my wife’s folks’ belongings. Fun to see the old gang. It was from about 1968, best we can figure.
I guess Marc did not take the photo! Any idea who submitted it? I wonder if they live nearby.
We are still driving our ’67 CJ5, has been in the family since ’69.
